Don't Pity Yourself.

Don't pity yourself; it is petty and small;
Your griefs are no greater than others have
borne;
Nor get into the habit of thinking that all
Are contented and happy while you are forlorn.
Don't brood over ills or insults, my friend;
'Tis unworthy the soul of a woman or man;
Grief has been our companion, and will to the end
Let us bear what we must, but enjoy what we
can;
Nor envy the man that knows nothing of care,
For gold unrefned may be tarnished by dross;
But look up! There is beauty in patience and
prayer,
And believe me, the gain will o'ercover the loss.
Though beaten like silver though tested like gold,
Though battered and shaken, let faith keep her
place;
For by white furnace heat and by friction and cold
Does the potter produce his most exquisite vase.
No honor? All, we'll what is honor, my friend
Though glory and greatness this life may not
bring,
IT'S an honor to walk from beginning to end
In the pathway marked out by our Master and
King
Who walked here before us in sorrow and pain,
Was mighty, yet bowed to the needs of the
SMALL
Let US boldly press after, regardless of pain;
To i've only for self is no living at all.

The Drudgery Of Life.
Baltimore Sun.

The work of day in any given line
of labor is history in brief of the work
of lifetime, and when we take up the
thread of duty it is well to remember
that one day is but the fellow of another,
and patiently toll on to the end. Labor
is not in itself painful, though there are
many who make it so, for it is familiar
fact that the hardest tasks are often ac-
complished without causing distress or
overtaxing the strength of single man
among many hundreds, each of whom
has had difficult part to do in their
performance. 1t so happens, however,
that circumstances of disturbing ma
ture often occur which give rise to dis
content among men and women every
where. They may proceed from disease,
anxiety and the mental strain to which
nervous temperaments are apt to subject
persons ambitious of rapid advancement
in condition or fortune. The mechanic
who falls prey to discomfort becomes
weary with his work long before the
day is ended, while his more cheerful
companion at the same bench wonders
that the day has ended SO soon. The
housewife, inspired by hopes which are
constantly failing of realization, grows
pale and weary, broods over the druid
gerry of everyday life, and sighs for
season of rest, sometimes even for the
rest of death; while the servant girl,
trained to toll, performs the toughest
duties cheerily, and sallies out upon her
holiday with rosy cheeks and sparkling
eyes, as if life were filled with visions of
paradise, and its burdens were but bag
atelleS. Illustrations such as these may
be drawn from every sphere OF labor to
show how much of the WEAKNESS of life
is the product of over-sensitiveness, of
misdirected hope, of expectations not
justified by circumstances, and multi
tude of other contributing causes, all of
which might, tor the most part, be pre-
vented by the cultivation of patient
and contented spirit. Good health usu-
ally attends upon patience and con-
tentment, but even where health is
wanting, the mind so equipped can bear
up against the ills of life mnch better
than that of the robust, but fretful man
or woman. 1t was aptly written by
famous poet-'The everyday cares and
duties which men call drudgery, are the
weights and counterpoises of the clock
of time, giving its pendulum true Vi
bration and its hands regular motion;
and when they cease to hang upon the
wheels, the pendulum no longer swings,
the hands no longer move; the clock
stands STILL The 'drudgery of life is
life itself, and for the lack of it many
retired merchant and professional man
has fastened to his grave or hung tremb-
lingly upon the brink of it, physical
| and sometimes mental wreck, needing
to be tended like child long before the
| period which nature claims as the age
of second childhood. 1t is well, there
fore, to look at the patient side of life
for our examples; to avoid the teachings
of those who imagine vain thing, set

the consciousness that we have not in
our pride or our folly doomed ourselves
to the toll of dropping buckets into
empty wells and growing old in drawing
nothing up.

Got Discouraged.

A Chicago woman recently resolved
to treat all callers with courtesy, even
peddlers, beggars and tramps.
For she soliloquized, the poor peo-
pie have to make a living these hard
times, and must be often discouraged
by the rude rebuffs they encounter in
the prosecution of their business
She began Thursday last when, about
8.45 a. M, little girl came to door
and said, 'Matchiz2' she replied in
gentle tone of voice:
mo, child; thank you
At o.1o the bell rang, and, going to
the door, she was confronted by peach
pirate, who said:
Fine ripe peaches, lady; So cents a
peck
mo, thank you
Green neutrality-suspicious.
cucumbers-'
NO; nothing at all, thank you.
At 9.47 just as she had got the baby
to sleep, there was jerk at the bell that
made the little one bound foot in the
air and utter a scream. The mothers
face Redeemed somewhat, but she went
resolutely to the door, and when a
weary-looking old man demanded if she
stood in need of any carbonic salve,
knife polish, toilet soap, corn plasters
or stove polish, she answered with the
reverence due to age:
mo, l thank you, SIR
Then, hearing the baby cry, he pro-
posed that she try bottle of Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup:
mo, not any,
At 1913, when the young man with
chromos and frames came around, she
said:
mo, nothing to-day and shut the
door in his face.
At II.2s she did not hear the man
who was canvassing tor Mother, Home
and Heaven more than half through his
little lingo before she said, NO, NOT
and withdrew.
By I7.22 she had got to the stage of
answering her prosecutors before they
had spoken to her; at 1.o8 she did so
tartly, and punctuated her remarks with
a slam of the door; at I.35 she told a
boy with fish to get out of here and
never ring at my door again. at a.27
she pushed lame life insurance agent
down the steps before he could utter a
syllable, and at 2.3o, when the minister
made pastoral call, she, ere he could
smile and say, well, Sister Sisson, how
are you2' hit him on the head with a
broom handle and ran him down the
steps, out the front gate, across the side
walk and clean into a tree box on the
| other side of the street.

The COIOrs of Birds Eggs.
mr.. .Seebobm an Nature.

Many birds make their nests in lofty
trees or on the ledges of precipitous
cliffs. Of these, the eagles, vultures
and crows are conspicuous examples.
They are, for the most part, too power
full to be afraid of the marauding mag
pie, and only fear the attacks of beasts
of prey, among which they doubtless
classify the human race. They rely for
the safety of their eggs on the inacces-
sible position of the nest. Many of
them also belong to still larger group
of birds, who rely for the safety of their
eggs upon their own ability, either sing
", in pairs or in colonies, to defend
them against all aggressors. Few colo
nies of birds are more interesting than
those of herons, cormorants and their
respective allies. These birds lay white
or nearly white eggs. Nature with her
customary thrift, has lavished no color
upon them, because apparently, it would
have been wasted effort to do so; but
the eggs of the guillemot are remark
able exception to this rule. Few eggs
are more gorgeously colored, and no
eggs exhibit such variety of color.
1t is impossible to suppose that pro-
tective selection can have produced
colors so conspicuous onthe white ledges
of the chalk cliffs; and sexual selection
must have been equally powerless. 1t
would be too ludicrous a suggestion to
suppose that cock guillemot fell in
love with plain -colored hen because
he remembered that last season she laid
a gay colored egg. 1t cannot be accl-
dent that causes the guillemot's eggs to
be so handsome and so varied. In the
case OF birds breeding in holes secure
from the prying eyes of the marauding
magpie, no color is wasted where it is
not wanted.
The more deeply nature is studied
the more certain seems to be the con-
clusion that her endless variety is the
result of evolution. 1t seems also to be
more and more certain that natural Sc
lection is not the cause of evolution, but
only its guide. Variation is the cause
of evolution, but the cause of variation
| is unknown

EMBEZZLED
IL. p. Vanduesen Detected III Robbing
Smith & Harrington.

Yesterday evening II. p. Vanduesen, a
clerk who has been employed at Smith &
Harrington's clothing store for some
months past, was arrested and placed in
the county jail, charged with embezzlc-
ment.
Although the young man appeared
honest and straightforward, the case
against him is very plain, and shows con-
clusively that he has systematically rob
bed his employers for some time. He
was suspected about ten days ago, and
has been closely watched ever since. 1t
is thought that his entire thefts will not
foot above 5000, and that most of that is
in small amounts.
He must have needed cash badly yes
terday, for he readily pocketed $50 in
marked bank notes. passed by a person
for the purpose of detecting him.
Immediately after taking the money he
was arrested, and the marked bills found
in his possession. This occurrence will
be a sad surprise to Vans" many
friends about the city, among whom he
was looked upon as a model of thrift and
industry. The cause of the young mans
downfall may be attributed directly to his
fondness for the fair sex, as he gambled
but little and always cautiously, and was
a moderate drinker. He was a base ball
enthusiast, and pitched in several games
at the fair grounds. Vanduesen brought
the best of recommendations upon his
advent here from Milwaukee, and was
the last person whom one would accuse of
committing the crime of which he is
doubtlesslv guilty.

THE CAPTURED BURGLAR.
He is Undoubtedly the Man who Robbed
the Office of II. Haas.

Jas. Jones, who is held for the larceny
of a watch and chain and some money
from the room of Hattie Hammond last
week, was yesterday placed in the county
Jail and will be arraigned before a police
Justice next Tuesday on the charge of bur-
glary, he having forced an entrance into
the house where the theft was committed.
The foreman of McDonald's brickyard
met the prisoner at the court house yes
terday and says he was formerly employed
by him to mould brick, and was a good
workman. While engaged in that occu-
patton Jones gave his name as Carr, and
suddenly left after working five days, be-
cause, as he said, rheumatism troubled
his right arm.
The prisoner is doubtless a professional
thief, and a very shrewd one at that, but
he made a sad mistake in pawning stolen
property so near the locality from which
it was taken. Jones, or Carr, is a large,
well built, smooth faced man, apparently
about 30 years of age, and seems very
hooiS IiOupiOu oNci MS pIcoCnb siludlioH,
seemingly ignorant of the fact that the
penitentiary is staring him in the face.
Another link was added to the chain of
eliminating evidence which is rapidly
accumulating against Carr, alias James
Jones. This last circumstance is no less
than the recovery of a watch recently
stolen from the safe of H. Haas in that
gentleman's office on Themes street. 1t
was found in the pawnshop of Il. Berger
IN Sixteenth street, where it had been
left by Jones several days ago. The time
piece was fully identified by Mr.. Haas
and David Miller, from whom it had been
purchased and the number kept on file, as
is the custom with jewellers. The ticket
was not found upon the person of Jones
when he was arrested, but the correspond
ing check held by the pawnbroker bore
that name, and Mr.. Berger recognized the
man at once, and the police are satisfied
that he is the perpetrator of tie bur
glaries which have been committed in the
city lately. The evidence hat can now
be presented against Jones is sufficient to
convict him, but his baggage and pals, for
he surely had assistants, are as yet undls,
covered

BOUND OVER.
Young VIM. Strong Held In the Sum of
$500 for Grand Larceny.

The preliminary examination of young
VIM. Strong, the watch thief, was held
before Judge Lee yesterday afternoon.
The first person on the scene after the
judge arrived was Mrs. w. s. Strong.
Pale and weary, with tightly closed lips
endeavoring to force back the tears she
would shed III sympathy and love for her
first born. the lady presented a touching
appearance, and at once gained the pity
Of all who saw her. Jessie Strong, the
courtesan from whose person the time"
piece was taken, accompanied by two in
mates of her establishment, was promptly
on hand and told the Judge that out Of
consideration for the boy's mother she had
no desire to prosecute the thief. The
watch had been recovered and she was
satisfied. When placed on the stand she
promptly answered the questions pro-
pounded by Campbell and Rowen, not
without a show of unwillingness, however.
The prisoner appeared in charge of officer
Goddard. He is a tall, manly appearing
young fellow and should be a comfort and
support to his aged mother instead of oc
cupying a felon's cell and causing she
who nursed him in childhood to grievc
and weep over his misdeeds.
The evidence elected the fact that the
prisoner had stolen the watch and buried
it in a vacant lot, but had confessed the
crime when placed under arrest by Mar
shall Schnitger Before the trial he had
plead drunkenness as an excuse for the
theft, but no evidence was introduced
tending to show that he was intoxicated
upon the occasion. In short, there was
no testimony given in defense, it being a
self-evident fact that he was guilty as
charged in the complaint. The boy was
placed under $500 bonds until the next
term of the district court. Jessie Strong
will furnish $3.50 for her appearance as a
witness in the case.
